The Sculpting Powder by Kevyn Aucoin

Themerck

Not the same formula

I believe they changed the formula countless times over the years but the one I received last month had white specks in the pan. The one I had did last me years but the new one doesn't look anything like the older version.

Красивый и натуральный

Покупала в оттенке Ligh, для светлой кожи идеально. Но для такой маленькой упаковки цена высока. **** Bought in the shade of Light, perfect for fair skin. But for such a small package the price is high.

Inga

Awesome Sculpting Powder

Awesome Sculpting Powder, especially for sculpting beginners. My skin is very fair and the light shade is almost perfect for everyday. It has a good texture, is bendable and cool toned.

Qween

Disappointed

I purchased this in light as I have very fair skin, the powder texture, and compact design is beautiful but on my neutral leaning yellow skin tone, this almost looks like a blush/bronzer. I’ve purchased in medium, hoping for a better result.

Lynette

Worthy of the hype

I bought this on a whim, it had a lot of hype on various platforms so I decided to try it. I’m glad I did! I now have both the light and the medium, don’t be fooled by the colour compared to other contour palettes - it may look light but it works. It’s a really natural contour and will work at any age. As others have said, it’s small - but it lasts for ages.

Penelope

THE BEST

The best contour powder EVER. I got medium and it's the perfect color with the best undertone. Ideal for contouring. PERFECT

Bellis

Great Product, Unreliable Packaging

I've got this in Light, and it's wonderful. Just right for creating a bit of shadow underneath the cheekbones and jaw. It applies like a dream and once on it lasts all day. The four stars instead of five are because the packaging does tend to come open of its own accord in your make-up bag. I caught it in time, and so the product didn't get trashed, but I can see how it would be very easy to lose the lot if you're not careful. Bottom line - amazing contour powder, just not terribly portable.

Finally, a contour for me!

I have very fair skin (finally found my perfect match with Fenty Beauty Shade 100). I could never wear contours. They just looked really unnatural or muddy. I LOVE this powder in light. Applied with a fluffy brush, it gives just the subtlest hint of color, which can be built up for a more dramatic look. With a stiffer contour brush, it shows up super pigmented. This is an amazing, versatile powder and is the perfect cool-tone contour for me!

Steph

THE best

This creates the best sculpting effect, you cant go wrong as it is so blendable and doesn't become patchy if you build it up, like some other contour powders tend to do.

Sarah

Lovely

I wanted a subtle shade to contour so I purchased the shade deep (I'm a nc 40/42 for reference), and I was a little bit worried when I saw the colour when the product arrived, but it blends out very well and is very subtle. The fact that is more grey than normal bronzers I believe is what makes it look more subtle and not "muddy". Would definitely repurchase.

Nberry

The best contour powder

I'm light in skin and can get away with both light and medium. These are so blendable and fool proof, highly recommend!

Mary

A believable contour powder

Purchased in the shade 'Light' as wanted something subtle. It seems too lean a bit more grey than the swatches of medium shade but I blend it into my bronzer to compensate for that. Ultra pigmented so needs a light hand but blends out like a dream.

Tia

Excellent

Very believable color - not orange and still not too brown. Medium shade works wonderfully when I have a tan but on my winter ivory skin I have to be super careful or it will look clown-ish. The package is small but will last ages since you need so little product to get the job done. Love!

Eleni

Perfect

This is really, the only contouring powder you need. Contouring is not for when you are in a rush, but when you blend this into your skin correctly it is heaven ! This is very powdery, so if you tend to throw your makeup products around, keep the pouch it comes with.

Lili

The best ever

This is the first Kevyn Aucoin product I have ever purchased and I can safely say that it definitely will not be my last. I purchased shade deep as I have a tanned complexion. It is highly pigmented and has a lovely cool grey tone to the brown that makes it look so much more natural than other contour powders. This is a must ladies. It will change your make up for the better.

SlyCat

Favourite contouring product

This is my favourite contouring product! It blends perfectly, looks very natural and stays on throughout the day. Well worth the price, as it lasts for ever. Just a heads up, it's very pigmented, so you'll need a light hand.

Pink_Belly

Dirty Looking

Cute dinky packaging and the small amount of product is really pigmented so goes a long way. Its the shading, it's very dirty looking and the effect is very harsh and I wear a more natural look most days so feels it's too made up looking.

Horvat Timea

Best contour powder

Since I used this for the first time, I knew it was love at first sight. It's the best contour ever, the colour is sooo natural, it is not patchy and it blends perfectly into the skin. Despite the price, which makes this product expensive, I think is a good contour powder.

Sophie

Love it!

Great shade for contour, not too cool or warm, looks great and blends well! Would definitely recommend.

Valia

Best sculpting powder ever

I absolutely love it! Perfect for fair skin, blends like a dream, natural color. The last one I bought lasted 16 months with everyday use so eventually it is not expensive at all. A must for me. This is my second time purchasing it.

Sarah

great powder

Lovely finish and very good colouring for my skin tone as it's not orange but more on the grey side - so really good for contouring. However expensive for the size of the pan.

Mariya

Light

Gentle shade for a light and natural contour.

ToniaK

Best product ever

I would definitely purchase again this product!! It’shade pairs with every skin type!! Its colour has a cold brown shade which is more preferable than terra-cotta orange shade!!!

Karenski

Kevin Aucoin Sculpting Powder

I love this. I am very fortunate in having high and pronounced cheekbones but this powder just nudges them over, removes the sharp and slightly undernourished look and leaves one with naturally stunning, and somewhat imperious, cheekbones and jawline; not to mention making one's clavicles look as though some lucky man could lap champagne from them. This is the embodiment of facial 'haughty' couture. Oh, yes. Buy it. You won't be disappointed.

Kylie C

Great

I love this product so much that I recommended to my Mum whose face is round, she loved it as it helps her sculpt her face and hide her double chin by creating a shadow-effect. She even asked for a backup!

Caiomhe

Kevyn Aucoin sculpting powder

Am on my 3rd palette now, (however the 2nd one was wasted as the clip came open in my bag and the powder block split and crumbled everyone so agree the packaging isn't great). However, I have never found a better contour for my pale skin. It looks dark but it's a perfect shadow colour - natural, no orange, very cool undertones, but please the packaging needs upgrading!

Bindi

amazeeeeeeeeeeiiiiing!!!

Cheekbones in a small eyeshadow sized pallette. This is my holy grail and I would be lost without it!!!

Iheartfishapods

Great purchase

This was my first purchase from this website, and I'm happy to say that I was not disappointed. I have extremely pale skin so I was concerned that this powder would be too muddy and dark for me, but I love it as a contour and eyeshadow. It really does create shadows on your face, it is not a bronzer. The product is a little small, but I doubt I'll go through this that quickly anyway.

meanmango

Love the product, really disappointed by the packaging

This is a fantastic sculpting powder, the colour is perfect and it blends really well. I am very fair skinned but it looks perfect with just a little blending. Five stars for the product, but one star for the packaging. It feels really cheap, like it was an afterthought in the whole process. The clasp doesn't work well when you press it, it doesn't pop open, you have to fiddle with it to actually open it. The applicator I received was a little thin brush, not the sponge in the picture. The brush works fine, but doesn't fit well in the space provided. And when you close it, the click sounds cheap! I may be being a little pedantic, but using such a great product every day with such unfitting packaging is just annoying.

Christina

Beautiful sculpting powder!

I find this so beautiful and easy to work with. I use light, as I have a lighter complexion, and the shade is rather cold and stunning. There are a lot of good shading-products out there, but this is the best I've used! Small, beautiful packaging.

Mari

Is this the best one?

It is the best contouring product from all that I have ever tried. So natural, so not reddish! I was scared about the pigmentation, but it’s wonderful! Easy to blend!

zeynep

A true sculpting, not bronzing!

If you’ll be careful and take your time to emphasize the real shadows on your face, this is it. My complexion is fair and I have tried; Burberry earthy and dark earthy, Dolce & Gabbana tan blush, mac’s shadowy powder, coffee walnut (cream) omega eyeshadow, NYX taupe blush. I must say this is not a fool-proof product, you need to apply very little and blend, then apply a bit more than blend so you shouldn’t overload the brush (this is actually the very important thing we must take into consideration when applying makeup). Its colour can’t be any more good, the best for sculpting purpose. I ordered now in the shade “light”, can’t wait to try.

Betina

Cheekbones for days

Being someone with a round face, it seriously lacks definition but using the sculpting powder I can create cheekbones. The fair version is brilliant for really fair skin tones and it's so easy to use and blend, I sometimes use it as a shadow.

Esme

the best!!!

I managed to get this for around £25 in the sale just before Christmas because I've always wanted to try it but could never justify spending the money. Now that I have, if it ever runs out I'm going to have to buy it again! It's honestly the best product I've ever tried for contour. It doesn't look muddy or clings to different parts of your skin. It blends so easily and looks so natural I haven't got the palest skin but I bought 'light' and it is just so subtle and I really notice myself looking like I have cheekbones for once! I recommend it to everyone and make all my friends try it whenever we are doing our make up together.

Simone

Would forever repurchase

This is hands down my favorite contour powder, the best I have ever tried. I just hit pan on my first one and will soon buy another one. I use the shade light on my very fair skin and it gives the most beautiful, natural sculpted look. I use it everyday with every look.

AlexAtkin

Amazing product

I got this product in the shade Light as Im quite fair and wanted a subtle, buildable contour. This product is just top quality, giving you the best contour effect. Not too ashy, blends like a dream, never patchy or uneven. My go to contour. Worth the price as truly exquisite product.

SarinaLovesBeauty

BEST CONTOUR POWDER

I love Kevyn Aucoin make-up and this is one of my favourite products by him. This sculpting powder is so finely milled, highly pigmented and blends like a dream. You only need a small amount of product, as it has amazing colour pay-off. It sculpts the face and defines the cheekbones perfectly. I don't think I can ever go back to another contour powder. The pan/amount may be small, but it's so worth the money. And a little goes a long way. If you are undecided about it, give it a chance. It's amazing!

Silvia

Perfection

I own Medium colour and I have a light complexion, but with this powder I can sculpt my cheeks in a natural way. I prefer the ABH's sculpting palette because there are six powder with different shades and texture to sculpt, to bronze and to highlight at the same time.

noelle

amazing

The best contouring powder ever!

Laura

Worth it

Such a good product - I am fair and shade medium works perfectly. Easy to blend and not too grey that you look dirty...you won't need any other contour.

Maria

The only right choice

Honestly, I don't think I am ever going to use or find a better sculpting powder than this. I cannot recommend this enough, and even though the packaging is small compared to the price, you do not need to use much to achieve the perfect cheekbone.

Caz

Best there is!

As powder contours go, this has got to be by far the best! It's very easy to build up so can be as subtle or dramatic as you like! Has a nice shadowy appearance rather than just a dark brown like many other similar products so always looks really natural. Also, I have a medium/olive skin tone and find the medium colour to be absolutely perfect!

Tanya Byrne

My new fave

Oh this is lovely. I wouldn't usually spend this much on a contouring powder, but I love the Candlelight highlighter so much that I thought I'd give it a go. I'm glad I did! It's gorgeous and looks so natural. Don't let the soft colour fool you though, it's highly pigmented, so apply with a light hand.

Naj

Cheekbones for days

This product is small but mighty and a little goes a long way. I have a Medium/Tan complexion and I opted for the Deep color which I am happy about. Please note this is not a bronzer and has a grey undertone which is perfect for contouring the face. Highly recommended.

Alexandra K

The best sculpting powder. Period.

It is buttery. But not in a bad way. Blends like a dream, works with all products I own and is neither too grey, or too yellow in tone. Just right. Perfect for natural contouring. I use “Light“ and it works for light to medium skin tones and for everyday use. This is by far one of my most favorite products in general, not only in the contouring department.

Bee

Best one contour

Great color and powder.

Olga

It's very good

Heather

Best Sculpting Powder for Light Skin

This is the best contouring product I have found for my skin type. I have fair skin that doesn't look too great with warm tones and bronzes. This cool tone compliments my skin colour and provides good definition. Even though I have lighter skin, I use the medium shade and blend it out. It looks beautiful. Definitely on par, if not better, with CT Filmstar Bronze & Glow.

Liz

Amazing for pale skin

This is amazing! I use the shade Light and I'm an NC15 in MAC. This works well with both cool and warm undertones as it casts a natural shadow instead of the horrible smudge of orange mud other products leave. It has a bit of a grey-ish hue to it which is perfect for pale skin as it mimics natural shadows on pale girls. Lasts quite well on top of foundation and a little goes a long way. Also, this is the first I've used that didn't break me out.

Sarah

Best sculpting powder in existence

This surely is the best sculpting powder I've tried (and I've tried a lot of them). Highly blend-able, perfect shade for my fair, neutral skin tone. Pricey but it lasts a very long time. Highly recommend!

Vivianne

Kevyn Aucoin Sculpt Powder in Light

Pretty much the first sculpting powder that didn’t look muddy on fair skin! I also have the Too faced milk chocolate bronzer and some other products that were meant for light skin tones but this one is the only one that looks natural even after dipping in more than once! (Of course with a light hand :) anyways I would repurchase! A bit costly for the quantity but hey, it works! I am sure I am going to hot pan on this one!

Anna

Great product, bad packaging

The product is simply amazing - subtle enough to be used on pale skin, but defining enough to give you cheekbones you thought you would never have. Blendable, pigmented powder, simply top-notch quality product. The packaging however could be so, so much better. I believe it used to be in a much bigger case with a space for a brush, but has been repackages to follow the size of the pan. Not sure whether the older version was more secure since I only tried the new one, but the clasp doesn't work very well and always opens on its own. Unfortunately, this caused my powder to break in pieces when there was still about half of it left. Heartbreaking! I'd love to re-purchase, but would probably wait to see if they come out with better packaging options.

Crystal_magpie

Lives up to it's name!

I read so many review from many websites and as it is quite pricey, I was a little reluctant to try it but I have to say, for me, this is everything I want in a contouring powder. I have pale skin and wanted something that was subtle, with no red/orange tones, no sparkle and that I can use as an eyeshadow too and this is exactly what I got. It has buildable colour, in ashy tones so if you build it up and use a good brush, this will accentuate yor cheekbones without trowelling on loads of make-up Kim Kardashian-style. It's expensive but lasts such a long time as you use so little, the little velvet pouch is cute and I honestly never want to be without this ever again! Buy it - you won't regret it!

Caro

Perfect

I was looking for a perfect product for contouring and now I have found it. The sculpting powder has the perfect colour to contour my very pale skin.

Dillpickle

The best

Love the colour, texture and packaging. Easy to use. Happy

Sass

Amazing

This is by far my go to product for sculpting, it gives such a natural shadow effect that works so much better than using a bronzer for cheeks in my opinion. I have to agree with the other reviewer who commented on the packaging, the clasp always pops open when the product is in my makeup bag and it greats very frustrating. Other than that, incredible product that I highly recommend.

BellaL

The best powder ever

It does not cake, it lasts for hours and is easy to apply. Kevyn was a genius!
